Double stroller...necessary?

Question

Need advice from moms of 2... do you use a double stroller often? I have a 2 year old and baby due in March and I'm struggling to justify the price of a double stroller with car seat adapter. My son often wants to walk, but he does still go in the stroller for longer walks, the zoo, festivals, etc. 
I was also thinking I could use a baby carrier for the newborn and small umbrella stroller for my 2 year old to travel lighter. Advice? Thanks!

Answer

I have a double and i use it, on and off. It really helps when I am at the shops just trying to contain my two( soon to be 3😁) it can just make it easier when you're kids aren't running rite

Answer

I got a convertible stroller (can be single or double) that also had a bench seat or glider board option.  It was expensive (though you can find then second hand), but I like the fact that I have a stroller for both when I need my oldest (turning 2 in March) contained and then when she gets older I can still use it for when she gets tired with the bench seat or glilder board.  I wouldn't have spent the money if it didn't have the additional options that I hope will allow us to get a lot more use out of it.

Answer

I tried it out and went with the joovey brand. Cheaper then most but easier to push, light weight when it comes to doubles, and easy to fold and unfold. Fits in trunk of my Honda Accord.

Answer

I've seen some that aren't much more than a regular stroller carseat combo. Which ones were you looking at ?

Answer

I managed to pick up a second hand mountain buggy duet for $250 it’s in amazing condition and much better than forking out $600+ just for a pram.. i also wanna get a carrier and like a umbrella pram as well for easier travel.. my little ones will be a lot closer in age though

Answer

I was the same. My son will be a month shy of 3 when this baby is born. But we are an active family so I think the double will be be necessary. Yeah we have the baby carriers. But I dont always wanna be babywearing. Especially on those hot summer days its nice to not share body heat constant! So we went for it.

Answer

I would get one with one seat behind the other instead of side by side.
I actually think the side by side ones are a little rude to others because they take up so much room.

Answer

I’m in the same position you are!  I got a baby carrier this time around, and I also bought a backpack leash for my 2 year old because she is a runner.  I was going to get the double stroller, but my mom pointed out it won’t fit in my vehicle.  Good luck with whatever you decide:)

Answer

I highly suggest a double stroller! I have boys 22 months apart and it was so nice to have them both able to sit in a stroller and me to be totally free (especially in the summer heat) Jogger style is the easiest to maneuver and push... You don’t have to spend an arm and a leg I have a baby trend and I have a joove and the baby trend is actually easier to push...
